"Joe Anthony refuses to treat his characters with less than the respect such complex individuals deserve, their depth and humanity so exposed. Anthony's skillful interweaving of many narrative voices allows us to feel their pain and sorrow, their prejudice and greed and lack of guile. Flawed and only sometimes heroic, they are fellow travelers with no map of the terrain before them."â€”David Thurman Miller, Appalachian Heritage
